How will NBC say goodbye to Steve Carell?

Angela Bromstad, president of NBC prime-time entertainment, addressed the departure of Steve Carell from “The Office.”

Bromstad said the network and producers of the popular Thursday night comedy had known for months that Carell would be leaving the show. Writers are preparing story lines to say goodbye to the goofy boss Michael Scott, played by Carell, but the show would go on. Bromstad said that though Carell is the star, the show is blessed with a strong ensemble cast.
